Description Session One -- "This is the pits..."

I finally get to a store where people won't send me back, finish getting what I need.  The stupid armor merchant only had leather armor that laced up in the back.  The good thing was you could wear cloth under it.  I can't wait to replace it though.  The letter basically said to go to this... spot.  So I went.  I got there and looked around.   That's when I decided this might not be nearly as fun.
I was the only girl.  Not only that, but it was quite obvious that I was the youngest one there.  There was a huge dragonborn called Medrash, a dwarf, Baern, a furry dog-guy named Excal... pretty sure they're called shifters, and a gnome... Garren.  The dragon guy was wearing some heavy armor, and the dwarf was definitely a cleric.  I'm sure of it.  The dog guy looked like another heavy hitter.  The gnome looked weird.
Really weird.
No one got as much as a hello in though.  The ground opened up beneath our feet.  I was startled a bit, but it's kinda like falling out of a tree.  It's not that bad if you land properly.  I maneuvered in the air, finding that we were falling pretty slow, and touched down on my feet expertly.  The dragon hit the dirt on his side, the dwarf on his head.  The gnome landed ass first on the dwarf... something's not right about that gnome.  The furry guy landed kinda like me, but he almost fell.  No one was even remotely agile.
Now is the time, apparently, to chitchat.  The dragon and the cleric are talking about religion and morality, and that's about it.  Blahblahblahbahamut this and being a good person... and they're asking around like it's some tea party.  I just smile, because they're not trying to stab me, and tell them I'm not religious.  Apparently that made me a heathen.  I wasn't about to just stand around in a hole and debate philosophy or anything though.  There was hardly light coming out of the pit.  We were at least 200 feet down.
I pull a sunrod from my bag and tuck it into my belt, lighting up the whole cavern we'd fallen into.  That's when we saw all the goblins.  Those things are not pretty.  Basically, I shot at them, a lot.  Then a giant flame-y thing came out of the ground!  So I yelled.  Loud.  The gnome basically gathered that it was a lava golem or something like that.  I was about to shoot it, but, it started smashing goblins.  The leader was up there giving everyone a hard time, cloaking himself in smoke, the usual.  But apparently our fighters hit him pretty hard.  The smokey stuff disappeared and he started running.  I wasn't letting him get away, apparently everyone else was.  I darted after him, shooting at his back.  I got the final say, this time.  Down he went.  Time for loot!
Ooooor not.  A freaky robed guy shows up and pulls down his hood.  He's purple with a tentacle covered mouth.  Tentacles creep me out.  What does Excal do?  Buttdance, facing away from it.  I don't even know.  He grabs this deck of cards and is encouraging us all to draw from it.  My first reaction?  Check for poison.  Nothing.  Second reaction?  No.  I don't do games of chance.  The dwarf draws though... he gets "the idiot", which was hilarious.  He also drew a card that lets us ask one question, and something else involving gems.  Something funky like that.  Then the purple guy seals the hole, so we're trapped, and is gone.  The conclusion?  Time to head to town.  It's about time.
